eBay have announced today that they will be raising some of the P&P maximum levels in response to price hikes from Royal Mail that come into effect on 30th April.

According to eBay’s post on Sellersphere, “where Royal Mail have increased the prices of their second-class services beyond the P&P maximum limit allowed, we’ve updated the site and increased this accordingly.”

Full details can be found on the Postage and Packaging policy page. But as an example, the previous chargeable P&P rate for a CD was £1.25. It has been revised to £2.25.

P&P maxiumums apply to items sold in these categories: Books, comics & magazines, Computing, DVD, film & TV, Consumer electronics, Music, Photography, Video games, Mobile & home phones, Clothes shoes & accessories.

It would seem that the new limits have already been put in place and have been valid since 11th April.

I think it will mean less packets cause the prices have jumped alot in sml packets.
i've a mate who is a big ebay seller and he's looking at alternatives to us cause of the rise,
and he won't be the only one.
I thought we were trying to catch more of the packets trade not lose it!!

Fleabay eh, selling s**t to the masses and the mugs that are the British public will continue to pay over the odds for it.

A company like RM in some ways, RM doesn't give a s**t about their staff (ie. the ones that do the donkey work), Fleabay doesn't give a s**t about the sellers (ie. the ones that do the donkey work).
